Cleland researchers -
Interest has been expressed recently by several parties in the Clelands of
Kilmore parish, Co. Down. Below are Cleland gravestone inscriptions from
Kilmore graveyard, Kilmore Church of Ireland graveyard, Kilmore
Presbyterian graveyard, and Rademon Non-subscribing Presbyterian graveyard.
Most of these can be found in the Co. Down Gravestone Inscription Series,
although I have added a few for Kilmore Presbyterian graveyard that are not
included. In addition, I have added the Clelands, by townland, for the
Tithe Applotment and Griffith's Valuation. Each given name is listed only
once for each townland, even though it may have appeared multiple times.
If you are interested and your e-mail system accepts attachments, please
let me know and I will send the information below as a word processor file.
I hope some of you find this useful and interesting.
